Meals on Wheels teams up with Gilmer tech company

Gilmer — Come join Gilmer Computer Tech for a celebration as donations are presented to Meals on Wheels Ministry on Monday, May 14th, 2012 at 2pm at Gilmer Computer Tech. Gilmer Computer Tech has been hosting a canned food drive for its local seniors during the past month and is inviting the public.

You can still help! Gilmer Computer Tech has teamed up with the Meals on Wheels Ministry Site program in Gilmer, Texas to help feed local seniors in need. Stop by Gilmer Computer Tech between now and May 14th, 2012 to donate canned foods, dry goods, and other non-perishable food items, which will be distributed to hungry seniors across East Texas and Gilmer!

No senior should be hungry. However, according to a study performed in 2010 by the Meals on Wheels Research Foundation (MOWRF) detailing senior hunger, 8.3 million seniors, or 1 in 7, faced the threat of hunger in 2010. The problem of senior hunger has gotten worse since then.
People can start helping locally by donating at Gilmer Computer Tech or volunteering at their local Meals on Wheels program. Meals on Wheels Ministry serves 3,000 meals across East Texas to the elderly and disabled in need. Last year, Meals on Wheels served more than 755,000 meals. For more information on how you can help FEED THE NEED, please call 903-525-0904.
